What is it like on the road Straycat? I'm never going to get the opportunity to ride one, so please let us know & go into detail.

And I mean detail

So I finally rode it today for the first time. Loved it.

Id hear from a buddy that compared to the NS400R or the RZ350, it feels like a big Bike (bigger than it is). and it does. The weight of the bike and its power certainly make it feel big.

Power is far better than the NS400 as you'd expect.

it's geared very well, it doesnt require much clutch slipping to set off from a dead stop, so thats nice, and it doesnt bog if you get the revv's too low in 1st. seems that extra power and torque make it much more well behaved.

bitmore vibration through the foot pegs than my other 2 stroks, when you back out of the trottle and let the pipes pop a bit, you really feel that in your feet.

Seat gets hot - due to the 2 pipes running under it I guess

Handling is good, bike is heavier then my others but handles well. The NS400r still handles the best.

On a side note a few years ago I spotted a RD 500 in a bike shop. I asked the shop owner about it and he said it was in for a carb clean and was ready for collection. He wheeled it outside and started it up just so I could hear it.

What a nice thing to do, he had nothing to gain but just knew a fellow stroker addict when he saw one
